The five men charged with breaking a Port Authority officer's jaw and slashing a firefighter's arm in a bar fight say the injured cops are the ones who should be arrested. According to the accused, which includes state senator Martin Golden's nephew Danny Golden, an off-duty NYPD officer started the fight, and when the five men were kicked out of the bar the cops chased them down the street.

Quote from the article:

"The feeling of all five of them is why are they the ones who are in trouble since they didn't even start the fight to begin with? They were defending themselves." Police officials insist that the only people assaulted in Saturday's bar fight were off-duty cop Paul Aparo, Firefighter Rosario Cicero and Port Authority Officer Ryan McCarthy. Cicero's father said, "He tried to break up a fight and they beat the s--t out of him." Cicero was knifed in the arm outside the bar, cutting his artery and causing him to lose over a pint of blood. However, he told the Post, "I was just helping out a friend. I'd do the same thing again."
